Developed Gaussian Naïve Bayes classifier in python, leading to an 85% accurate prediction of drilling mud loss in shallow depleted formations contributing to a 1/6 reduction in drilling costs in 17 two-string wells in the Austin Chalk and Eagle ford shale. Using Combo Curve, performed decline curve analysis to forecast production for 672 wells. Forecasts were implemented with various economic scenarios contributing to the accurate economic valuation and bid submission on three non-operated deals totaling 1.1 billion dollars.Leveraged the Enverus Suite of web apps, including Prism and Drilling Info, to gain insight into mergers and acquisitions and production trends for operators in the southern portion of the Western Gulf basin contributing to the competitive establishment of Killam Oil’s unconventional drilling program.
